27、ere nt ani mals or pests have their particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves. Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts cha nge their colours together with the cha nge of the colour of crops. Wh

28、en crops are gree n, I ocusts look gree n. But whe n crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from pla nts are usually easily found and eate n by their en emies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear

29、 only at ni ght. If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually in visible to the eyes of hun ters, because they have the colour much like the barks

30、 of trees. An even more stra nge act rema ins to be no ticed. A kind of fish livi ng in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid whe n it faces dan ger. While the liquid spreads over, its en emies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not pow

Sudde nly the traffic stops. You hear the distant sounds of cheering, clap

35、ping and shouting. Then, like a multi-colored train, 2, 000 people with wheels on their feet zoom past you. You have just witnessed the London Skate, a twice weekly roller-skate（溜旱冰）eve nt that attracts people in their hun dreds and thousands London. Skate is a completely free tour of the streets of

36、 London -the only con diti on is that you go along on roller-skates. It lasts betwee n two and three hours and by the end of it you have skated betwee n 10 and 12 miles.

Every one is welcome to take part and people from the age of 4 to 63 years old join the fun. I love it very much, it is amazing. It feels just like a ca

38、rnival （狂欢节）,said Celeste Beverage regular skater. Roller-skating is really taking off across Europe and America. It is a very good way to keep fit and can be practised any where there is a smooth surface. Many big cities in Western Europe and in the US now ha- ve a regular group skating event. The

39、biggest skates take place in Paris and Munich and tens of thousands of fans show up on warm evenin gs. Roller-skat ing is tak ing over the world, said Julia n Gren oble, a 25-year-old ski shop employee from London. Grenoble went to the Paris-Roller （Paris skate） regularly until he moved to Britain.

40、Its so excit ing to skate in Paris. Every one skates so fast and puts in their best efforts! he said. The Paris Roller is well known because of the huge atte ndance, the prese nee of marshals and the police protect ion. Paris is a great city for roller-skating because of its long wide streets and sm

41、ooth surfaces. Roller-skating is also becoming more popular in China among young people and children. Skating fans favorite places to practise in China are big squares. 60.

44、roller-skat ing B. roller-skati ng in big cities C. London Skate Event D. roller skaters in differe nt coun tries C Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experie nces? Stran gely eno ugh, the an swer to both these questi ons is ye

45、s. To some exte nt our in tellige nce is give n us at birth, and no amount of special educati on can make a genius （天才） out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his / her intelligence less than one who lives in rich and vari

46、ed surroundings. Thus the limits of a person s intelligence are fix whether or not he / she reaches those limits will depe nd on his / her en vir onment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a nu mber of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we ar

47、e born with. The closer the blood relati on ship betwee n two people, the closer they are likely to be in in tellige nce. Thus if we take two un related people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligenee will be completely different. If on the other hand we take tw

48、o identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligenee, and this clearly suggests that in tellige nee depe nds on birth. Imagi ne now that we take two ide ntical twins and put them in diff

49、ere nt environmen ts. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in in tellige nee develop in g,a nd this in dicates that environment as well as birth plays a part.This con clusi on is also suggested by the fact

50、 that people who live in close con tact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of in tellige nee. 64. The writer holds the view that human bei ngs intelligenee depends on A) birth B) educati on C) both birth and en vir onment D) n either birth nor educati

51、 on 65. It can be learned from the passage that if a child is born with low intelligenee, he can A) not become a geni us. B) still become a genius if he is give n special educati on. C) exceed(超过)his intelligenee limits in rich surroundings. D) not fulfill his in tellige nee in his life. 66. In the

52、second paragraph, “ifwe take two unrelated people at random from the populationmeans if we. A) pick any two pers ons. B) choose two pers ons who are relatives. C) take out two differe nt pers ons on purpose. D) choose two pers ons with differe nt in tellige nee. 67. The example of the twins in the t

53、hird paragraph is used to show. the importa nee of their in tellige nee. the role of environment on in tellige nee. the importa nee of their social positi ons. the part that birth plays. D A new study warns that about thirty perce nt of the worlds people may not have eno ugh water by the year 2025.

54、A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three-h un dred-thirty-five-millio n people lack eno ugh water now. The people live in twen ty-eight coun tries. Most of the coun tries are in Africa or the Middle East. PAI researcher Robert

55、En gelma n says by the year 2025, about three-thousa nd-milli on people may lack water. At least 18 more coun tries are expected to have severe water problems. The dema nd for water keeps in creas ing. Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same. Mr. Engelman says the population in countries tha

56、t lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says populati on growth in these coun tries will continue to in crease. The report says lack of water in the future may result i n several problems. It may in crease health problems. Lack of water oftenmeans drinking waters not safe

57、. Mr. Engelman saysthere are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera ( 霍乱), which are carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more intern ati onal con flict. Coun tries may have to compete for water in the future. Some coun tries now import sixty percent of their

58、fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.

59、The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more tha n one purpose. Ano ther way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water of agriculture. 68. Accord ing to the

60、fourth paragraph, lack of water in the future may result i n many problems EXCEPT. A. health problemsB. intern ati onal con flict C. en vir onmen tal problemsD. econo mic problems 69.
